[UCLA-LUG] recycle bin

[mike chan]

linux actually doesn't have a recycle bin... what you can do.. is use mv
(move) instead of delete if you so wish... delete is really delete... =)

also, it should be noted that when you "move" the file, it usually doesn't
move at all.. just the information regarding the file (the directory it
resides in) is changed... that's why when you move a 600 meg file on the
same partition, it executes VERY quickly, whereas a copy takes a long time..

so, insted of deleting, you can make an alias to move your files...

or something like that... =) assuming /recycle is created, and world
writeable, etc.etc.etc.
